Great historical essay
Reader comment on item: The Muslim Claim to Jerusalem
Submitted by J. Rocha (United States), Jun 26, 2002 at 20:12
This essay is thoroughly researched and well written. It may contribute to the basis for a future peace between Arabs and Jews, based on real history, and allowing both sides to save face. A saving of face based on truth and mutual dignity will be a lasting basis of peace. Nothing else will suffice.Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
